My in laws live in Bing, and they love Little Venice. However, I really can't recommend it to a fellow CH. It's totally fine, but that's it. Fine. Mediocre, really.

I went to college in Binghamton and we all just sort of had to suck it up for the four years we were there. Our favorites were Kampai, Lost Dog and Christie's, but I haven't been to them in years, and I suspect they aren't as good as I remember now that my taste buds have evolved. :) We liked to go to Apple Dumpling Cafe for brunch.

You can always go to Wegmans and eat there! :)

If your son likes cooking, the farmers' market at the park where the spiedie fest takes place is great.
